Veteran 371  |  Subject: RE: Swim Challenge - 100 Miles!Good job! I had a good week as well (for me!) with 3 swims totaling 8000 yards.  I'm happy with the distance, but now if I could just speed up some. *sigh* Patience isn't my strength |

I think getting those 3 swims in every week is a most if we want to make it, hopefully we will get faster at some point over the next months

Member 206 East Syracuse, New York | Subject: RE: Swim Challenge - 100 Miles! Im falling behind - been caught up in the winter blues. Averaging closer to twice a week than 3X...also been working on some drills vs distance which isnt helping. Thats why this challenge is good - will force me to try and catch up/keep up. |

Master 1623 | Subject: RE: Swim Challenge - 100 Miles! Well I finally got back to Clemson for school and was going to start swimming but then apparently a pipe burst over the break and the pool's closed until the end of the month  |

| Veteran 371 | Subject: RE: Swim Challenge - 100 Miles! Just wrapped up my last swim for the week So far for me: Last week: 4500 yds This week: 8350 yds Total yds in the challenge: 30950, using 1650 per mile, that's 18.75 miles. I'm one swim away from my biggest swim month ever. Don't know if that's good or sad - ha! |

Expert 957 Reykjavik, Iceland | Subject: RE: Swim Challenge - 100 Miles! I did my 3 swims last week and ended up with 10200m witch put me just over 25% done Still it is a long way to go but I have figured out that if I plan in 3 swims a week I will make it. Actually with 3 swims a week I will go a bit over target so right now can "miss" 4 swims and still make it
happy swimming

| Veteran 371 | Subject: RE: Swim Challenge - 100 Miles! 0 swims this week....had the flu Can't WAIT to get back on my training plan. I'm going crazy 'resting'. Still hopeful I can make 100 miles in time, just gotta step it up a little. |

| Veteran 371 | Subject: RE: Swim Challenge - 100 Miles! Good week last week - 8150 yards. Total in challenge - 24.6 miles (based on 1650 yds/mile. That's what I'm sticking to) Including this week, looks like we've got 11 weeks left to go |

Expert 957 Reykjavik, Iceland | Subject: RE: Swim Challenge - 100 Miles! Good job By the end of the week I should be half way there I also got talked into doing a masters swim competition, will do the 800m free and probably a relay. This will give me 1 extra swim this week so I am now up to 5 swim I can miss for the rest of the challenge and still make it (based on 3 swims a week) Keep swimming.... |

| Veteran 371 | Subject: RE: Swim Challenge - 100 Miles! Great job! Had a time constrained week last week, so only 7200, but I'll take that. So far this year, I've already swum 2/3rds of the total volume I did last year - yay! Looks like it might be just us left in the challenge....hmmm. |

Doing 7200 with a time constrained week is very good I think this will end up being my biggest swim month ever I think your are right, it dose look like it is just the 2 of us left.......Well it is a very hard challenge, manly because it is so long. But it was something I needed as I am finally starting to improve my swimming, well it fells better/easier, speed is hopefully coming too

Member 40 | Subject: RE: Swim Challenge - 100 Miles! hmm wish i'd seen this challenge earlier. If you decide to do it again or extend the deadline let me know. I'm averaging around 10,500 / week right now and doubt I can ramp up much more than that with finals & spring break coming up. Would need to hit ~17,900/week to make the challenge. That's about 4000 yards 5 days a week without fail. Possible, yes. Likely, no. Especially since pool parties and lightening storms have kept me out of the water the first two days of this current week. |

| Veteran 371 | Subject: RE: Swim Challenge - 100 Miles! Welcome! You can still jump in & just adjust your goal down. Maybe like 50 miles or 75 by end of April? Mesteren - awesome job on biggest swim month ever! |

| Veteran 371 | Subject: RE: Swim Challenge - 100 Miles! This is very belated, but CONGRATS!!!! Good job!! I'm probably not going to make, but I don't really have control of that. (Started working with a coach about 2 months ago so I just follow what she says.) However, I've already swum WAY more this year than I did in all of 2009 or 2010, so I'm very pleased |

| 475 | Subject: RE: Swim Challenge - 100 Miles! There is NO WAY I can get in 100 miles by April but I would still love to join and keep track of my progress. I will track my workouts and I am thinking I will shoot for 60 miles as well. Not even sure I"ll hit that but I will try! I am only swimming 2 days per week and then a very short swim one additional day (20 laps or so due to time constraints). I am headed into a busy tri season with an Olympic, 1-2 HIM races, and a full IM in November so I need this! Thanks for the challenge! |

I just realized this wasn't new but was recent because someone commented in December! Funny! |
